R: Predictions Based on Linear Models

mypredict.lm {ipred} | R Documentation

## Predictions Based on Linear Models

### Description

Function to predict a vector of full length (number of observations), where predictions according to missing explanatory values are replaced by `NA`.

### Usage

    mypredict.lm(object, newdata)

### Arguments

`object` | an object of class `lm`.
`newdata` | matrix or data frame to be predicted according to `object`.

### Value

Vector of predicted values.

### Note

`predict.lm` delivers a vector of reduced length, i.e. rows where explanatory variables are missing are omitted. The full length of the predicted observation vector is necessary in the indirect classification approach (`predict.inclass`).
